This afternoon marks the beginning of a new stage of promotion for
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Honoring their partnership in publishing with
Sony Online Entertainment, the two MMO powerhouses have collaborated on a new flash website designed to attract new potential gamers and pull them into the hype.

Several highlights include:
-
Overview, featuring the full box art for the game and many text descriptions of key features to the game!
-
World, a description of the three main landmasses in Telon including screenshots and a flyby video. Currently only Thestra has these additional bits of media, but the rest will be coming shortly!
-
Heroes, lore backgrounds for Telon's three iconic characters designed by the late
Keith Parkinson.
-
Travel, descriptions and videos of the three main forms of travel in Thestra: Land travel, Air travel, and Water travel. Currently the only video up is for Horses.
-
Media, filled with the latest screenshots, videos, wallpapers, and music. The last item on the list should be paid particular attention to as well! Not only has
Todd Masten released many brand new pieces from the game, but has gone back and totally remixed and produced special extended versions of those already released! They now seem to feature not only ambient aspects of the areas, but combat layers as well! Definately check them out.
Stay tuned for more developments as areas of the new website gradually become unlocked!
Edit: We also have two other little bits of news! It seems that
Sigil has been sending out a new feature of screenshots to various Affiliate websites. So far, there are three featuring what is being called
"Creatures of Thestra"!
Vanguard Esp has up the Undead Warrior, Soul Slasher, and Tharridon the Mighty.
Vanguard Crafters has the Kaon Fairy, Salamander, and Undead Mage.
Silky Venom has the Gargoyle, Gorgalok, and Cartheon Knight.
